seat-of-the-pants code, possibly full of syntax errors: locList = [a list of at least four points] textOffset = point(how far from the graphic the text label should be) repeat with x = 1 to 4 randNum = random(locList.count) sprite(x).loc = locList[randNum] -- place the graphic sprite(x + 4).loc = locList[randNum] + textOffset -- place the text label locList.deleteAt(randNum) end repeat This will place the graphics with their labels at a random four of the locations in the list in random order. -- Carl West [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eisen.home.attbi.com I have no superfluous leisure; my stay must be stolen out of other affairs; but I will attend you awhile. - Isabella, Measure for Measure, Act 3 Scene 1 [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
